How To Make This Butterscotch Cool Whip Pie Recipe

Making this delectable pie involves mixing up a dreamy butterscotch pie filling and spreading it in a buttery graham cracker pie crust. Add a dollop of whipped topping, and you are ready to enjoy this treat.

OUR RECIPE DEVELOPER SAYS

This recipe needs to chill in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours before serving. You can most definitely make this a day before so that it is ready when you need it.

STEP ONE: Using a medium-sized mixing bowl and a hand mixer on medium-high speed, beat the softened cream cheese for 1 to 1½ minutes until smooth.

PRO TIP:

Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature to avoid lumps in the cream cheese mixture.

STEP TWO: Sprinkle the instant pudding mix over the cream cheese and continue mixing for 1 more minute until well combined.

STEP THREE: Add the marshmallow fluff to the pudding mixture and continue mixing just until incorporated.

STEP FOUR: Fold in the thawed Cool Whip.

STEP FIVE: Spread the Cool Whip pie filling into the premade graham cracker crust. Chill in the refrigerator for 8 hours or overnight. Slice into 8 servings and garnish the outer edges of the slices with whipped topping if you wish.

PRO TIP:

If you are transporting the pie, we recommend sitting the whole pie inside a glass or metal pie pan to give it more stability. You can also flip the plastic insert in the premade crust. This makes a perfect lid for the top of the pie.

How To Serve

Serve this rich and creamy butterscotch pie as part of your holiday meal, or simply anytime you have a butterscotch lover in your midst.

You could go with a classic vanilla ice cream to complement the creamy texture of the pie or perhaps whip up some homemade caramel sauce to double down on the decadent sweetness.

A warm mug of pumpkin spice latte or homemade hot chocolate to drink is always a classic choice to wash this treat down.

Storing This Butterscotch Pie

IN THE FRIDGE: Store any leftover homemade butterscotch pie in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. 

IN THE FREEZER: You can freeze the pie for up to 1 month. Use the plastic lid from the graham cracker crust to cover your pie.

Allow the pie to thaw overnight in the refrigerator before slicing, garnishing, and serving.
